The dark girl, they call me

my skin was pure white

from the fire of the summer sun

I am dark

Chorus:

Dark girl

so very beautiful

in your eyes - a burning fire

my heart is all yours

The dark girl, they call me

all those who go down to the sea

if again they call me

I will go with them again

The dark girl, they call me

son to the ruling king

if he calls me again

I will follow him
